Buyer Greg Hughes, from Grovedale, said he was attracted to the location, style and size of the property.

“I will be moving in and I work in Breakwater so makes it easy getting to work,” Mr Hughes said.

Bidding started at $540,000 with several parties taking it above expectations of $550,000-$600,000.

McGrath, Geelong agent Shane Goodall said he had a lot of interest from first-home buyers, investors and downsizers.

“Every open home was packed, it did have restrictions including not having a proper backyard or a garage, but buyers saw the potential in it,” Mr Goodall said.

“We knew there were going to be several buyers, some missed out on even getting to bid.”
